Publisher's Summary
Wealthy Maggie Verver has everything she could ever ask for - except a husband and a title. While in Italy, acquiring art for his museum back in the States, Maggie’s millionaire father, Adam, decides to remedy this and acquire a husband for Maggie.
Enter Prince Amerigo, of a titled but now poor aristocratic Florentine family. Amerigo is the perfect candidate. Delighted, Maggie then reciprocates by choosing a partner for her widower father: childhood friend Charlotte Stant. The stage is set, and what unfolds is a deep and gripping exploration of fidelity and the politics of love and marriage.
Published in 1904, The Golden Bowl displays Henry James at his finest: James weaves scene upon scene, set piece upon set piece, into a seamless whole, through a richly dense tapestry of beautiful, flowing prose. Along with The Ambassadors and The Wings of the Dove, it constitutes James’ final and most rewarding phase as a novelist.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying reference material will be available in your Library section along with the audio.

Juliet Stevenson does a wonderful job narrating
a nice book on fidelity and the consequences of love, it's read beautifully and in a way that helps in understanding the text.

Beautifully narrated
Henry James is not the easiest writer to navigate, and Juliet Stevenson is the perfect mariner.
